Dan Joyce has spent his life navigating trauma, care, responsibility and the quiet weight of burnout.
In this episode, Dan opens up about becoming a foster carer at a young age, and how working with trauma affected young people throughout his career reshaped his identity, empathy and view of the world.
We talk honestly about his childhood experiences, emotional exhaustion, the misunderstood reality of teenagers in care, and the moment Dan realised he needed to redesign his life before regret caught up with him.
This is a raw, thoughtful conversation about mental health, burnout, time, freedom and the courage it takes to choose a different path. If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, trapped by responsibility, or worried about missing the good moments in life, this one will hit home.
